Enjoy the view of wilderness as you hike along the trail.
As you cross the bridge near the end of the trail, discover access to the Grand River. This is a great spot for birding. More than 30 species have been seen this year including blue-headed vireo (uncommon), winter wren (special interest), magnolia warbler (special interest), black-throated green warbler (uncommon), cerulean warbler (species of concern), yellow-throated warbler (uncommon) and dark-eyed junco (threatened).
Along the trail you may also encounter the eastern chipmunk, fox squirrel, American beaver, raccoon and white-tailed deer. Amphibians found here include the spotted salamander, Allegheny dusky salamander, eastern redbacked salamander, American toad, green frog and pickerel frog.
In an effort to provide more opportunities to enjoy our parks, Lake Metroparks offers tent camping so campers may experience unique natural features and the great outdoors. Reservations are required.
Campsites provide a “rustic” experience for small groups of up to eight people staying in tents. Campers must hike or paddle to the campsites. Campsites must be reserved. Click link below.
